Thunar custom action for hidden and unihiden files.

I want to do a thunar custom action for hidden and unhidden files.
For hide files I use “ echo %N  >> .hidden” and it works.
For unhidden I use “sed -i s/n%//gi /.hidden” and it doesn’t work.
Could you tell me any idea of  how can I unhidden files with a thunar custom action.

Re: Thunar custom action for hidden and unihiden files.

Hello and welcome.

“sed -i s/n%//gi /.hidden”

A couple of issue with this command: first, it should be "%n" and secondly, "/.hidden" is the .hidden file in the system root.

Try these commands instead:
Hide:

echo %n >> %d/.hidden

UnHide:

sed -i '/%n/d' %d/.hidden
